Jamie Foxx Hit In The Mouth With Glass During Wild Restaurant Fight

by

Recently, Jamie Foxx visited the Beverly Hills restaurant Mr. Chow for his birthday. He was joined by his daughters Corinne and Anelise Foxx, as well as his ex Kristin Grannis. Unfortunately, however, it looks like the wholesome outing took a turn for the worse. Today, it was reported that Foxx was involved in a fight involving other diners and that he was possibly injured. This was unconfirmed at first, as Foxx did not stick around long enough to receive any kind of medical attention.

Now, a spokesperson for the personality has released a statement about the incident, confirming that Foxx was actually injured. “Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” they revealed. “He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.”

At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what led up to the explosive altercation. With that being said, fans are glad to hear that Foxx is on the road to recovery. This is far from the first medical issue he’s dealt with lately, as he just opened up about suffering a stroke and brain bleed during his new Netflix special. According to him, it all started with a bad headache in April of 2023.

“Your life doesn’t flash before your face. It was kind of oddly peaceful. I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light. I was in that tunnel, though. It was hot in that tunnel. Sh*t, am I going to the wrong place in this motherf*cker?” he joked of being unconscious. “Because I looked at the end of the tunnel, and I thought I saw the devil like, ‘Come on.’”

Lil Yachty Debuted His New Haircut At Rolling Loud Miami, And Fans Have Drawn Hilarious Comparisons To Another Rapper

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, Uproxx revisited the evolution of fashion within the culture. While the lookbook (viewable here) dives into the pioneers in each trend, it doesn’t explore hip-hop’s noteworthy hairdos. For a longtime, Lil Yachty’s signature included fire red tresses in braids, dreadlocks, and more.

However, yesterday (December 13), the “We Ball Forever” rapper ditched his usual. During Lil Yachty’s Rolling Loud Miami 2024 set, he debuted a rather classic haircut (viewable here) referred to a low cut Caesar. “Y’all like my new hair cut or what,” he asked the crowd.

While the crowd seemed to appreciate Lil Yachty’s enthusiasm, users online couldn’t resist turning it into a harmless joke comparing him to veteran rapper Mase.

“Him and Mase, father and son in another life 😭,” wrote one user.

“We gotta ask Mase and Lil Yachty’s momma where they were both at 9 months prior to the day Lil Yachty was born,” joked another.

“Hell no he really Mase in 97 😭,” chimedanother.

Others have spammed the clip online with memes of Mase and tagging him for his official reaction. It is unclear what inspired Lil Yachty’s switch up. Maybe he was moved by the latest TikTok beauty trend (fueled by a Destiny’s Child lyric). Or he could simply have wanted something fresh. Wither way users online have hilariously taken the innocent moment into a viral roast session.

J Cole Thanks Fans For Supporting His Re-Released Mixtapes On Streaming

by

J Cole may have had a pretty turbulent 2024 given the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, but he’s closing it out on the highest of notes. Moreover, he launched a new audio series – Inevitable – touching on his career, he announced a 2014 Forest Hills Drive tenth anniversary show in Madison Square Garden in New York City (plus a special physical edition with previously unreleased bonus tracks), and he also re-released his old mixtapes The Come Up, The Warm Up, and Friday Night Lights on digital streaming platforms for the first time ever. The North Carolina MC expressed gratitude for his loyal and supportive fanbase in late November.

“This is a very special moment for me,” J. Cole tweeted. “Been waiting patiently for this day, like a lot of yall have. I wanna say Thank you to everybody out there that kept these projects alive, even during all the years they were not on streaming services, especially this project right here. ‘Friday Nights Lights’ finally available now on all platforms. […] To have a full idea of what this means for me personally, you would have to know the whooole journey. This Inevitable series we doing, is that. […] Love to everybody tuning in, it’s really something special. The Come Up, The Warm up, and Friday Night Lights all up finally. Thank you.”

J Cole Thanks His Fans

Elsewhere, J. Cole’s manager Ibrahim Hamad confirmed the bittersweet news that next year’s Dreamville Fest in North Carolina will be the last-ever iteration of the festival. It’s a very reflective moment for the whole collective, but a lot of it is probably falling on Cole’s shoulders as its flagship artist. The battle certainly adds to that context, but it’s nice that he can indulge in this nostalgia alongside his die-hards.

Of course, there’s still plenty of new music on the way, as Daylyt might have another track coming after he and J. Cole were spotted in the studio. So Dreamville fans don’t have to enter a mourning period just yet, especially during this celebratory time with his older material. It was a tough year at times, but 2024 proved to be a pretty awesome stretch for Cole fans all things considered.

Valee Enters Surf Gang’s Sonic World On Collaborative “Grey Sky London” EP

by

It’s been a SURF GANG takeover in 2024 and it’s not stopping even with just a few weeks remaining. The underground hip-hop label founded by producer evilgiane in 2018 has officially taken off. “The Hillbillies” track with Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem seemed to be what catapulted the collective. But overall, it’s been their unique cloud, emo, internet, and trap rap sounds that have been the catalyst in this. More mainstream acts like 03 Greedo and Maxo Kream have hopped into their soundscape. But they have been making their money with names like Nettspend, Slimesito, xaviersobased, and more.

Valee can now be added to the expansive list thanks to his new EP. Grey Sky London is a five-song collection between him and the label’s producers. Eera, evilgiane, and Harrison are joined by NIKETECH, Ccured and they have all created a woozy and subdued landscape for Valee. Leading up its release, they dropped “Why Not.” It’s quickly become fan favorite, racking up tens of thousands of streams on Spotify. Overall, this whole EP seems to take after the title, Grey Sky London. Typically, the popular tourist spot if gloomy, so they appeared to have shot for that aesthetic. Also, it looks like Valee and Surf Gang were recording the project there based on some IG posts. Overall, it’s a tape that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Moreover, Valee delivers some solid rapping performances to tie it all together. So, with that said, check it out below.

Drea Kelly Slams Critics Blaming Her For R Kelly’s Alleged Abuse Of Their Daughter

by

In October, TVEI Streaming Network dropped a two-episode documentary, Karma: A Daughter’s Journey. In it, R Kelly’s daughter Buku Abi opens up about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. “I was too scared to tell anybody, I was too scared to tell my mom,” she said in part, “I really feel like that one millisecond completely just changed my whole life and changed who I was as a person and changed the sparkle I had and the light I used to carry… I just remember waking up to him touching me. And I didn’t know what to do, so I just kind of laid there, and I pretended to be asleep.”

Abi continued, alleging that she and her mother Drea Kelly tried to file an anonymous police report. According to her, her father was allegedly not prosecuted because the statute of limitations had passed. Social media users quickly flooded her with words of support, but her mother didn’t have the same experience.

Drea Kelly Says She Did Everything She Could Amid R Kelly’s Alleged Abuse

During a recent interview with Carlos King, Drea addressed those who blamed her for her daughter’s abuse after she came forward. She recalled allegedly going to the police after receiving a concerning call from Abi but being told there was nothing she could do to get her away from Kelly. “And that was probably the most painful experience of my life,” she said. “Because I did everything that I could […] I did everything I could just to have the police tell me I could do nothing. And my baby carried that pain around for years trying to protect me.”

This isn’t all Drea discussed during the interview, however. She also defended her decision to keep her ex’s last name after they went their separate ways. She argued that she earned the right to it by birthing her children and contributing significantly to the choreography for Kelly’s tours, music videos, and live performances.

6ix9ine Immediately Records New Music After Getting Out Of Jail

by

6ix9ine just got out of jail for violating his probation terms, and he apparently wasted no time in getting himself back on track. Moreover, a clip recently surfaced of some new music, which he apparently recorded just minutes after getting out of prison. The actual timeline around all these events – as well as whether or not this new material will even officially drop – is still pretty unclear, but it seems like the New York artist wants to return to the recording industry quite quickly. For those unaware, he signed quite the massive deal with Kartel Records before this recent stint behind bars, but his actual future as a recording artist might be in jeopardy.

Furthermore, 6ix9ine’s new probation terms include orders for him to get a clean and full-time job, and it’s unclear whether the court will accept “recording artist” as a sufficient profession. After all, that very same notoriety, access, and success in the music industry is what exacerbated and publicized much of his legal trouble over the years. Maybe a more specific ruling down the line will clarify this debacle.

6ix9ine Returns From Jail With New Music

Elsewhere, 6ix9ine’s most recent prison stint also drew headlines for some bizarre reasons tied to much larger and more pressing pop culture stories. He served time at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the same institution from which Diddy awaits updates in his federal trial for alleged sex trafficking. Authorities ordered that these two individuals had to stay isolated from each other, presumably to minimize the attention that they would generate and receive as celebrity inmates. Sometimes, these assignments and decisions can come from a more random place. But we’re willing to bet that the MDC in Brooklyn put more thought into this… Maybe.

Regardless, 6ix9ine had previously pledged to stay “squeaky clean” before this arrest, so maybe Kartel Music is second-guessing themselves right now. For that reason, we have to wait and see whether or not this new music actually comes out in one way or another and how it will tie into his legal troubles. It’s been a long and exhausting saga so far that doesn’t seem to have lost its gas.

KSI Flips The Script On Fans With Somber “Dirty”

by

UK multi-talent known on the internet as KSI, has built quite an impervious empire. His YouTube channels, both solo and with the Sidemen, are some of the most subscribed to on the platform. Additionally, him and Logan Paul have their sports hydration drink brand PRIME and their kid’s food subset, Lunchly. Although, those ventures do have the greatest reputation, especially as of late. His music career has also seen its fair share of setbacks as well, with listeners cracking jokes and making memes out of it. That was especially the case with “Thick Of It,” his 2024 collab with Trippie Redd. Many eviscerated it for the poor rapping, it’s cutesy instrumental, and lack of song structure.

However, we feel that KSI will quiet a lot of the negativity with this latest single, “Dirty.” Fans have been praising it nonstop already thanks to its severe style switch up across multiple areas. He’s ditching the rapping for non-auto-tune singing (which goes over better than expected) and the messaging, theme, and tone is much more somber. It’s about the dangers and unexpected things love can do to a person and the track includes some uncredited female vocals that give it a nice point of view from both genders. Speaking of them, that’s another thing that listeners can’t stop discussing. A lot of folks are saying its actually Billie Eilish and we can certainly hear the similarities in the vocals. Genius says its unused recordings from the American bedroom pop star, but nothing has been confirmed. Regardless, it’s a W from KSI and we encourage you to give it a chance.

Kendrick Lamar Affiliate Hitta J3 Issues Warning To Tory Lanez After Drake Support

by

Tory Lanez and Drake’s relationship hasn’t always been solid. Recently, however, the former decided to show the latter some love on DDG’s new Handling Business EP. “I be up praying and waiting for the day that n***as come for me the way they did Drizzy / I got the card in the wallet, and big brodie’s problems are my problems, so f**k how you feelin’ about it / Brodie gone stand on his own, but 2024, it ain’t no fair ones in Toronto,” he raps.

This resulted in mixed reactions among social media users, and many speculated that it was a reference to Drake’s explosive beef with Kendrick Lamar. This is unconfirmed, but regardless, it earned a big response from one of the Compton rapper’s affiliates. Hitta J3 shared his take on the song in a series of tweets posted yesterday (December 13), clowning Lanez, Drake, and DDG.

Hitta J3 Claims Drake “Must Really Need Help” After Tory Lanez Nod

“Tory better chill out only person coming for him is the guard on that cell block nah but free that man,” he began. “DDG seen me at rich the kid party & looked like he seen a ghost & I said wassup he act like he was legally blind.” Hitta J3 didn’t stop there, however. He went on to point out the lack of support Drake has received from industry peers in recent months. “The boy must really need help he got prisoners speaking up for him before his industry friends lol,” he wrote. “N****s nice & we can’t take a man serious in protective custody. I’m speaking my peace same way he played the record on his stream now what.”

This isn’t the first time Hitta J3 has thrown shade online either, as in September, he fired back amid threats from Top5. “Come find out then,” he said, sharing a clip of Top5 getting pushed out of a Toronto restaurant. “This the tuff guy yall talking bout.”
